Sign up for the service Unblock US. This service changes your DNS settings and redirects certain domain requests to proxy servers to allow access from overseas IP addresses.
This will allow access to standard free services, such as BBC IPlayer.
If the service you are signing up for requires an American credit card (not all do), you can sign up for a virtual visa or mastercard at Entropay. Entropay charge about 5% to "load" money from your real card to a new virtual card.
If the service requires a post code or address many people just make one up. I use my freight forwarding address from MyUS.com. MyUS.com gives you a real address in Florida, which you can use as a shipping address for items (such as electronics) which stores like Amazon or Ebay auctions won't ship out of America. There is a free version of the service which has more expensive shipping.
I feel that Unblock US is a better solution than VPN based as only specific traffic is redirected. I've had no problems with Netflix etc on IPad either using the service.
ReplyDeleteDaniel, thanks for the article. For those who live outside UK and want to access BBC iPlayer, you can use UnoTelly as I do to get around the geo block.
